Re: Gamethread 37 Jan 8 @ Phoenix

Tinsley's going to take a beating in the postgame thread win or lose tonight. (Looking like a loss) He doesn't trust any of his teammates late in games.

Great game Shawne Williams.

This is true but you can't question his effort. He may have taken some bad shots and missed some gimmes. It would probably help if the Pacers had another point guard. He played the entire game after Diener went down and Diener doesn't even normally play. I'm not disappointed in Jamaal Tinsley. He tried and came up short. Call him a ballhog or whatever......

I wasn't ripping him. My comment was more of a knock on Dunleavy/Granger.

He ALWAYS tries to be the hero but fails almost every time!

Sorry but there is no excuse for it ... and to all the Jamaal fans who like to defend him

Trying hard is fine, no fault in that. But when your trying hard is not being productive, its time to go anothet route.

Re: Gamethread 37 Jan 8 @ Phoenix

Right now I am trying to look for positives in everything we do. First thing first, we lost.

The game was very encouraging to me for the most part because Indy hung with Phoenix, one of the best offensive teams in the league and ran with them. They played good d at times and gave the necessary hard fouls when needed to.

Some of our role players sparked it up tonight. Diener looked good until the injury, that is just bad luck. SWill looked smooth at both ends and finished well around the basket with both hands. Dun, Granger, Rush and Daniels were more involved. Murphy had a good game at both ends.I think Tinsley tried to do too much at the end because of that lack of JO, whether it was real or self-pressured over-extending himself. We hung with the runningist team in the NBA and almost took them at their home court.

We're talking baby steps here folks. I still believe JO needs to be traded for both sides to get a fresh start. The other guys that need to be purged could wait until the end of the season.
